Akkuyu Nuclear said in a statement that the 365-tonne steam generators were unloaded from a cargo ship to a storage area where the quality of the equipment and its documentation will be assessed by a commission before acceptance.
In a pressurised water reactor, the steam generators act as heat exchangers where water carrying heat generated from the nuclear reaction is used to turn demineralised water into steam.
The $20bn Akkuyu nuclear power station, the first commercial nuclear power station in Turkey, is being built near Mersin on the country’s southern Mediterranean coast under a contract signed with Russia in 2010.
The station will have four Generation III+ VVER-1200 units, with the first expected to come online in 2023 and a further unit starting every year afterwards.
Earlier this week, Russia said it had shipped the reactor pressure vessel for Unit 1 at Akkuyu.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, construction of Akkuyu-1 began in April 2018 and of Akkuyu-2 in April 2020.
